Monday Ménage And A Plus One

Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Kimberlé Crenshaw. Dolores Huerta. Hanan Ashrawi.

 

When I’m sometimes asked ‘When will there be enough (women on the Supreme Court)?’ and my answer is: ‘When there are nine.’ People are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that. Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

 

It’s not about supplication, it’s about power. It’s not about asking, it’s about demanding. It’s not about convincing those who are currently in power, it’s about changing the very face of power itself. Kimberlé Crenshaw.

 

We do need women in civic life. We do need women to run for office, to be in political office. We need a feminist to be at the table when decisions are being made so that the right decisions will be made. Dolores Huerta.

 

Women in politics are more honest and forthright. We are not in it for the ego gratification. Hanan Ashrawi.
